Posting comments, part 2

I worked on this a little more, just trying to see if I could head off any potential problems.  In the previous post, Amanda commented that her experience was that if the comment doesn't load, the best thing to do was to copy the comment, reload the page and paste the comment to try again and it would usually load properly the second time. 

I checked a little further last night, and have some (hopefully) helpful answers.  When you first come to the blog's page, in the top right hand corner, it should say either sign in or sign out.  If it says sign out, you are logged onto Blogger through some service (Google, AIM, etc.), so you should be able to leave comments with no problem.  If it says sign in, you can still leave comments, you just have some extra steps.  When you go to post a comment, you will see the comment box and underneath it will say "Comment as" with a drop down menu.  If you are signed in, your name will appear along with the service you are using.  If you are not signed in, the drop down menu shows various services used to sign in with.  If you use any of these services, select it ( Google for Gmail users), and you can then sign in and leave a comment.  If you don't want to sign in or don't use any of the services listed, near the bottom of the drop down is the option "Name/URL".  Select that one and it will let you just put your name or select "Anonymous" if you don't want anyone to know who you are.

Hope that was helpful.  Anyone still having trouble, please let me know and I will do my best to help out.
